Advanced fan saves fuel and reduces noise, vibration

BorgWarner Thermal Systems

What: Visctronic high-speed reservoir system

Innovation: Nearly all vehicles have electronically controlled cooling fans that turn on when needed, reducing drag on the engine. BorgWarner’s Visctronic system matches the fan’s operation more precisely with the engine’s needs, saving fuel and reducing noise, vibration and harshness.
